Government will keep DNA profiles for six years, not 12

Government will keep DNA profiles for six years, not 12: “The Government will remove from its DNA database the profiles of most adults arrested but not charged or convicted of an offence after six years. The Home Office announcement follows a ruling against the UK by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR).”
